To reiterate, heart attack 100% blocked with lower front teeth throbbing, then stented, second attack two days later, stent closed, extra stent applied and third stent for a 70% blockage back of heart and tooth pain returned 2 weeks later and chest pain on a scale of 0-10 which was a three never left to date. What is the problem here?

Hi Fran,
I think this post by Dr. Weinraunch may help clarify the link between heart conditions and tooth/jaw pain:
Jaw Pain Could Be Sign of Serious Heart Condition
All the best,

Hi Lisa,
Appreciated the article from Dr. Weinraunch, that you referred me to.
It was helpful understanding symptoms pre a heart attack or during but since I inquired about the lower tooth and why it was still presenting itself after 2 heart attacks and stents in main artery and one in back of heart, the tooth pain has subsided but the chest pain is still there on the pain scale of a 5.
I am wondering is this the healing process after having my arteries tampered with by cathing 3 times in 5 1/2 weeks?
